Something to Look Forward To

Why bother troubling yourself with today’s market prices? We all knew this was coming, so let’s not act all “rapish” now that it’s here. Looking ahead, there are many wonderful things to look forward to. In particular, I am eagerly awaiting the beginning of the hurricane season, scheduled to begin in mid August.

Falling victim to a “Deacon of Death”, as some like to call them, is like winning the lottery, only more permanent. I can guarantee you, should your retarded home get blown to pieces (extra three little pigs), the stock market decline will not bother you in the least.

By then, stocks should be down anywhere from 30-50%, terrified by a spectacular Chinese collapse and subsequent popular uprising. North Korea would have detonated 20 nuclear bombs on its neighbors and commodity prices would have fallen by at least 40%, bankrupting thousands of companies in the process.

Ben Bernanke will attempt to “QE Again,” but the market will become smart to his parlour tricks, sending treasuries to the graveyard, alongside the US economy–leading to default. At that point, our sagely government officials will attempt to curtail the dollar’s precipitous drop by “taxing the rich” through the seizure of bank and retirement accounts.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average will trade down to 38.

Let us enjoy these modest declines and savor the diminishing taste of crony capitalism, for it shall be ending sooner than you think!

    Master Fly, under these circumstances, would one be wise to go short? Please bequeath upon us your wisdom. Or should one simply retreat to one’s bunker?

      Retreat to the bunker, where you may indulge yourself by eating nothing but riced crispy treats.

      Each time I’ve shorted, a modest length of my penis has been collected (via Bernanke guillotine) to my astonishment and horror. Only one inch remains. Please learn from me, young man…

    Let’s enjoy the present before the next ice age, where vast tracts of Real Estate will be smoothed over by advancing/retreating ice sheets.

    It’s the 4 and 4 strategy playing out here.
    EXK 4 and AAPL 400. The Art & Cook road show won’t play in Peoria.

    Asteroids? Don’t be silly. We are on the Titanic – Captain Ben Bernanke is saying full speed ahead! Protect yourselves, for Gods sake, run for the hills! I have warned you for the last time…maybe one more time.

    One of PPT’s worst stocks or not, I say TITN is a buy here. I’m just glad I sold out at 29 😉

    I know you’re not supposed to fall in love with a stock, but the ranges on TITN have made me more money than any other single stock over the past 2-3 years.
